"Texture::read() - couldn't read" error

Scripting Issues
1

it happens just recently trying to execute the Media-Player sample tutorial that don’t work anymore - time ago (v. 1.5.4) I recall it worked nice. Here the console errors:

Known pipe types:
  glxGraphicsPipe
(all display modules loaded.)
:util(warning): Adjusting global clock's real time by 0.511437 seconds.
:gobj(error): Texture::read() - couldn't read: /home2/kartoffeln/Work/c/panda/CVS/panda3d/samples/Media-Player/PandaSneezes.avi
:gobj(error): Texture "/home2/kartoffeln/Work/c/panda/CVS/panda3d/samples/Media-Player/PandaSneezes.avi" exists but cannot be read.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Tut-Media-Player.py", line 76, in <module>
    w = World()
  File "Tut-Media-Player.py", line 22, in __init__
    self.tex = loader.loadTexture(MEDIAFILE)
  File "linuxroot/usr/share/panda3d/direct/src/showbase/Loader.py", line 374, in loadTexture
IOError: Could not load texture: PandaSneezes.avi

anybody knows why p3d could issue errors like these?

On a guess, because your current Panda build doesn’t include the ffmpeg code? What Panda build are you using now?

It looks like a CVS checkout. Maybe you forgot to download the thirdparty packages from the website and to place them in the panda3d source root?

Or, there’s a recent problem with Panda with model paths or so. Someone on the OSX binaries thread had a similar problem.

as correctly pointed by pro_rsoft I gotta fresh CVS version (checked yesterday) with third-party on place, fully compiled and with a .deb installer correctly produced. Ffmpeg is also installed. I would say “nothing changed” on my system since it still worked but I can’t bet my ‘derriere’ on that.
Just in case, this is my actual CVS local tree:

what do you suggest? does it worth to sweep everything and re-check the whole stuff?

5

No, it definitely seems like a path issue.
Are you sure you cd’ed into the directory of the sample program and are you sure the PandaSneezes.avi is present there?

6

you betcha. Carefully reading the error stream posted above we’ll notice that;

but I tellya more: I tried also from console “ffmpeg -i Pandasneeze.avi Pandasneeze-encoded.avi” and then played it just to see if there where problems with ffmpeg but all is fine. Pretty nasty isn’t it?
Do you know how can I debug deeper from script this issue pro-rsoft?

7

No idea. I’m not experiencing any issues on my ppremake cvs trunk build here. That said, I might be using OpenCV and not FFMpeg.

8

pro-rsoft I produced meanwile a debug output that tell some more things that maybe could help:

:gobj: Loading texture /home2/kartoffeln/Fuf/foof/a01.mpg
:pnmimage(debug): Reading image from /home2/kartoffeln/Fuf/foof/a01.mpg
:pnmimage(debug): Unable to determine image file type from magic number.
:pnmimage(debug): Unable to guess image file type from its extension.
:gobj(error): Texture::read() - couldn't read: /home2/kartoffeln/Fuf/foof/a01.mpg
:gobj(error): Texture "/home2/kartoffeln/Fuf/foof/a01.mpg" exists but cannot be read.

and this is my compile command line:

makepanda/makepanda.py --use-python --use-zlib --use-png --use-jpeg --use-tiff --use-fmod --use-fmodex --use-openal --use-nvidiacg --use-openssl --use-freetype --use-fftw --use-artoolkit --use-ode --use-ffmpeg --use-pandatool --installer

Could you post yours so that I can try to see if it works here?
And if I decide to switch to OpenCV do I got to install also the libcv python bindings or just the libcv-dev package?

UPDATE
hey meanwhile I found THIS!
I’m getting wrong or I MUST compile with OpenCV instead ffmpeg to have video textures working?

9

Not even libcv-dev, if there is a thirdparty package for it. There is, but it’s not included in the 1.5.4 thirdparty packages yet.

Woah! Why don’t you just makepanda with --everything and then --no-blah everything you don’t want out, instead of doing it the other way around?

10

hellye, I’m missing the opencv folder - I wonder why the thirdparty folder isn’t in CVS - anyhow where can I snatch it for putting in my old thirdparty folder?

heh yeah but the stuff unimportant for me was pretty half of the whole and then I got not much gain - but I lend ya your way is more appropriate and I guess I’ll use then :wink:
